Stop Watching Me....



Recommended Posts

What is it???? Why when people know you have had the surgery they watch you eat??? I had a coworker tell me" I see you been indulging a little bit lately." I was 5 second from going completely off. Don't the people know we still can eat certain things but everything is done in moderation. Damn..... :/

I get that at work and home! I dont "indulge" very much...but once in a while a little something sweet (and I mean a LITTLE bite of something...like a cookie) wont hurt me. I HATE people watching everything I eat too!!!

All of these post are the reason I only told my family and 2 close co- workers!! Ughh who wants to be judged 24/7, we've been through that before the surgery!!! Now the down side to none of my other coworkers knowing is... Everyone keeps saying wow you look great, what are you doing? Can you write out your entire routine and diet for me... Too bad their results will not be the same!!!

I haven't had surgery yet but I KNOW this will happen with everything I eat at work. I work with a whole building of busy bodies.

Good luck RnJsNana.. It's hard not to share the news with everyone because its so exciting!! I don't regret my decision not to share. My grandmother passed a week & a 1/2 before my surgery and I took it pretty bad. ???? So all of my coworkers thought I just took time off work to get myself back together & I never told them anything different! Truth be told I needed the time to grieve and recover...

Thank you. I'm sorry to hear about your grandmother.

I've told everyone at work that I'm having the surgery because I figured that would stop some of the gossiping lol. But I've worked with these people for 25 yrs so I know it wont stop it LOL. But most of them mean well.

I haven't told people at my work but they do know that I'm on a serious diet. I was told that at least I'm doing it "the right way and not having surgery or starving myself." And they keep saying "when you can eat real food again"... So glad I haven't told anyone. It's no ones business but mine.

Yeah, that was one of the reasons I didn't say anything to people I work with. I got couple days off and came back saying nothing :) My family asks me to eat more, try more salad of grilled "whatever you eat girl". They don't try to make me fail, just don't get concept of small portions and smart meals... Hopeless cases!

I think that is very rude! If they are on the heavy side to them "if you watched what you ate as much as you watch what I eat you probably wouldn't look like that." I too chose to tell very few. I think only my husband, 3 ,my sister and favorite cousin know. the rest of my family is very judge mental and so are my in-laws so they won't know a thing. I'm being revised from the lap band to the bypass November 4th. I know some folks will call me a failure and I don't need or want to hear that. The band failed me. I only lost 30 pounds in 2 years and have stayed there since then. :( Can't wait for my surgery date to get here.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
